The 2015 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has the most intense bouquet of the five wines from the same vineyard included within this flight almost overwhelming the senses with precocious dark cherries raspberry coulis bergamot and hints of vanilla pod. The palate is medium-bodied quite powerful and dense - a more masculine Bonnes-Mares that is almost Musigny-like in style. There is certainly a nobility about this Bonnes-Mares but it will probably require longer to reach its drinking plateau than others. Just magnificent! Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
vTasted blind Roumier's 2015 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is quite reticent unfurling in the glass with a youthfully reserved bouquet of cherries cassis dark chocolate peonies and espresso roast. On the palate the wine is full-bodied deep and powerful with a strikingly concentrated and multidimensional core an ample endowment of rich satiny tannin and a long chewy finish. This is a ripe but structural wine that will demand?and reward?considerable patience: it's likely to prove one of the most long-lived red Burgundies of the vintage.
